Extracting attachments from multiple emails
I have Outlook 2016 hooked up to my GMail account and I want to both save some space and grab the attachments from 15 years ago.
I've downloaded the Systools program which grabs them from PSTs but is very limited and I'd rather not pay for the full version. Also tried a VB Script.
Is there an easy way to do this or another program that may be recommended?
Thanks.

Hi,
There are only 2 ways to do this task one is VBA and the second is third party tool.
So, I suggest using a VBA script first.

@Alan, I used the method here but there's no option to run a script in the Rule Wizard in my client.

Take a look at some of the attachment extraction utilities on this page. They typically offer a free version of each tool, and then a pay version that has some of the advanced features. Depending on needs you can often get by with the free versions.

Should be fairly simple using VBA.
What did you try that didn't work?
